Case Study: Richter achieves shorter tooling times and higher precision with TopSolid

Maximum precision with minimum tooling times for Richter

L. Richter KG, a German manufacturer of complex precision aluminum parts, faced challenges in programming its modern multi-axis CNC machining centers to reduce tooling times and remain competitive. To better exploit the potential of its machinery and handle increasingly complex parts, the company sought a new 3D CAD/CAM solution, turning to the vendor TopSolid and its product, TopSolid’Cam.

Implemented with the help of TopSolid's partner AdeQuate Solutions, the solution provided integrated CAD functions for efficient part modeling and comprehensive post-processors for all machines. This allowed for reliable simulation and optimization of CAM programs. The results were significant; TopSolid enabled Richter to reduce tooling times by 25-30% for complex parts, thanks to optimal program preparation and the synchronization of multi-axis machining, which minimized machine running times and increased process reliability.
